That whole internal monologue about how Eiri will keep Haku? Yeah, that was real sweet, wasn't it? But you know what else is sweet?
NOT GETTING KISSED BY HAKU.
So naturally that's what Haku does, even if it was a tiny, inconsequential peck, but this is Eiri, we're talking about, and anything even remotely ridiculous is suddenly turned up to eleven. But since Haku is pretty much always an eleven, this is basically ramped up to a twelve on the ridiculous scale and Eiri has not been out of the infirmary long enough to deal with this shit right away. Then again, he's not sure he'd be ready regardless of how much time out of the infirmary he'd have, but that's beside the point.
Instead Eiri just stares back at Haku for a very quiet few seconds, eyes wide and mouth hanging partially open, before it all catches up and - ]
HAKU!
[Don't mind that voice crack, it's normal. You can take the boy out of puberty but you can't take puberty out of the boy...
And it sinks in further, that Haku just kissed him, so Eiri does the next most reasonable and mature thing and flops over on his bed, grabs his pillow, and presses it over his face.
